While born to a Messianist family, Maru was barred from the Yeran church in 1997 for coming out as gay, although the current Cardinal of the Stan Yera, Yusav Nag'â, has shown increasing tolerance towards LGBT individuals in the Yeran Messianist Church, and there are rumors of Maru being allowed to rejoin. Maru is a stalwart believer in Sfan's brand of socialism, and has been instrumental in forwarding laws to extend this ideology throughout the Stan Yera. However, Maru is a strict pacifist regarding military exploits, and believes that the Yeran military should be reduced in size, drawing the ire of many more militaristic members of the government. Despite this, he is rumored to be behind disappearances of a number of conspiracists and anti-regime journalists within the Stan Yera.
